7

I can't believe it has been a
month since I last posted but the months just seem to be flying by. My Mum
always used to say the older she got the faster time flew and I am finding that
to be true myself. These last few weeks have been filled spending time celebrating
wonderful friends, getting the chance to disconnect and go on our first proper
holiday, and anticipating the autumn season...my favorite time of the
year.

One of the things that I have
really enjoyed this season of life is being a part of a life group again (a
small group of about 4 other couples that meet weekly to talk about life and
God). These people challenge me on a weekly basis to think outside of the box
that I grew up in along with encouraging and fostering who I am as a person. A
year ago these people were strangers to me who practically had come from all
parts of the country within a matter of several months of each other, but now
they are so much more than strangers.

One in particular Ally has really
challenged me and encouraged me over this last year. Her latest topic of
conversation has been a woman by the of Jen Hatmaker (yes, this is her real
last name). She wrote a book called "7 : An Experimental Mutiny
Against Excess and when Ally handed it to me last night, even in
my skimming I couldn't seem to put it down. It was as though this woman had
been reading my journal the last several months. The process would in no way be
easy, but something worth the element of sacrifice. If you get a chance to take
a look at her stuff I would already highly recommend it without even having
completed the book myself. Graeme and I are in the process of discussing if
this is something we could and would take on and I think I already know the
answer which could make for a really interesting start to the new year ahead!

About Me

I am a girl figuring herself out in the process of being dedicated to something she knows she is good at with a bit of work. Writing is not always easy, but I find pure joy in it and just have a desire to share the quirkiness of what I call my life.
